This past week, two credit unions and one statewide credit union group revealed the total impacts of their charitable giving efforts in 2023, while two other credit unions announced their 2024 giving plans.
Employees with the $949 million Greater Texas|Aggieland Credit Union in Austin spent more than 1,500 hours volunteering in 2023, a more than 50% increase compared to 2022, as part of the credit union's Greater Good campaign. Nearly 120 employees took part in one or more Greater Good projects in 2023, including large initiatives such as the House that Credit Unions Built for Habitat for Humanity as well as smaller projects to benefit Healing with Horses, Tango Charities, Austin Disaster Relief Network, the San Antonio Food Bank and Bastrop's Empty Bowls campaign.
